Graduate Department of Biochemistry, Brandéis University, Waltham, Massachusetts 02254 Received February 4, 1985 abstract: The use of fluoro ketones as inhibitors of hydrolytic enzymes has been investigated. The acetylcholine analogues 6, 6-dimethyl-1, 1, 1-trifluoro-2-heptanone and 3, 3-difluoro-6, 6-dimethyl-2-heptanone are inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase with K {values of 16 X 10~ 9 M and 1.6 X 10™ 9 M, respectively. These fluoro ketones are lOMO5 times better as inhibitors than thecorresponding methyl ketone. Since nucleophiles readily add to fluoro ketones, it is likely that these compounds inhibit acetylcholinesterase by formation of a stable hemiketal with the active-site serine residue. Fluoro ketone substrate analogues are also inhibitors of zinc metallo-and aspartylproteases. 2-Benzyl-4-oxo-5, 5, 5-trifluoropentanoic acid is an inhibitor of carboxypeptidase A (í¡= 2 X™ 7 M). Trifluoromethyl ketone dipeptide analogues are good inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme. An analogue of pepstatin that contains a difluorostatone residue in place of statine has been prepared and found to be an extremely potent inhibitor of pepsin (K¡= 6 x 10™ 11 M). The hydrated ketones are probably the inhibitory species since they are structural mimics of the tetrahedral intermediate that forms during the hydrolysis of peptide substrates.
